Using a high-pressure
phase equilibrium apparatus and vibrating-tube
densimeter, phase transition pressures of CO
2
(1) + acetic
acid (2) binary systems with
x
2
= 0.000,
0.107, 0.163, 0.222, and 1.000 were measured under temperatures from
308.15 to 338.15 K. Besides, the densities at the same composition
and temperature under pressure from 15 to 45 MPa were also detected,
and the volumes of mixing (Δ
V
m
)
were calculated. Three prediction models (SRK EOS, PC-SAFT EOS, and
TS model) were introduced to predict and correlate the density of
binary systems, which was found to have positive relationships with
temperature and acetic acid concentration and a negative relationship
with pressure. Thereinto, the variation trend of CO
2
density
with pressure tends to be flat under high pressure, and which of acetic
acid density increased linearly with pressure. Δ
V
m
are negative, and their absolute value increases with
the increase of temperature and the decrease of pressure. The work
herein could provide a theoretical guide and basic data for supercritical
CO
2
extraction technology and CO
2
application
in oil field development.
